Silvia's fault - purple podded sugar snap peas
Comments (13)Silvia - Those tendrils are definitely different, I started mine too early, too warm, or it might just be my humidity since they are only 8' from the water/lake :-( Those are so tall, how do you keep them from breaking over? I get so much wind here off the lake that the tops would be toast if they got that tall. You know how I like purple in fruit; I can't wait to see how that kale turns out. Kathy - You'll love them roasted, I like them rather al dente with a little sea salt :-) Sorry to hear about your raccoon problems, like Silvia I've had virtually no bugs and no critters. I would not consider bringing tomato plants inside the pool cage as both the squirrels and raccoons would eat/break through the screens to get to them. I only grow parthenocarpic cucumbers inside the pool cage as the critters have no interest in them and I can control pickleworm with little to no spraying. Pat - Sorry about misstating the name, it's Sugar Magnolia. Amber - Great looking plants! I've never grow snow peas but this year I picked out a yellow variety and it's growing 3' from the trellis with the purple sugar snaps, but the seeds are also the last in my fall succession and just starting to flower now :-( Sure would be nice to see a different color on either :-) Christine - You'll love them when you try them, you know I'm a sucker for any vegetable that is NOT the traditional color :-) They can be either baked or broiled but the trick is to NOT over cook them or they will dehydrate and flatten out. Silvia - Beautiful presentation with the tomatoes! You know I'm a simple fellow, garnish will never be my strong point :-( I Pulled out 25 of my 28 tomato plants last weekend and potted up my seedlings to set in the garden this weekend since it's a three-day weekend and I can watch them to make sure they don't get scorched. I gave away about 100lbs of red and green tomatoes this week, this is what I have left. Other than these, which I picked tonight. The three plants I left were two new surprises this year that are strong and still very productive, Amy's Sugar Gem, and Silvia's Smarty F1. Smarty F1 has definitely become my favorite red grape, I'd swear it's been crossed with Everglades, it's put out at least 500 fruit, Nugget crapped out last week and probably only put out 200 fruit.

Comments (30)I love my hope chest and I'm only 18! When I started mine it was because we were cleaning out my grandma's attic and there were quite a few sets of dishes as she didn't have much when she was a girl (she lived on a farm) so she always kept any dishes that came her way in case someone needed something. But I found a set of 3 pretty blue dishes that you can still get replacements for online (yay! I want at least 4), but my mom suggested that I keep them in the toy box my dad made for me when I was a little girl (5 I think?) but I've put in things I've done, a quilt, some embroidered pillowcases and a family tree that's almost finished. But I was also given 2 quilts, one from my great grandma who gave it to my aunt, and one that my grandma made as a girl. They're both so pretty that I don't know if I want to use them. Maybe they'll go on a guest bed so they won't be ruined. But as for china, I received a set from my grandma, as did my brother who didn't care which of the 2 sets he got, actually he was all for me getting both sets, but my insisted. I believe he got her wedding china and I got her mother's set, but it could be the other way around. Either way I'm looking forward to using all these things one day in my own house. The chest will definitely be going with me when I move out! Now just to tell my family that I have one so they can add things if they want! Especially my two aunts who had only boys because they like doing girly things with me! Good luck to any who are making one, especially Jennifer! I hope you're having fun storing things in yours! I know mine provides me hope for the future when everything else seems so confusing!...See MoreDinner for the Girls
Comments (2)We had a blast and I was so thrilled...the girls loved the salad and some of them are going to try it at home. Like an idiot, I forgot to take pictures of the salad...but think one of my friends did, so will check with her. Everyone thought the table looked nice and enjoyed eating the salad out of a compote instead of a traditional bowl. I will set the table again and take pictures...it really did look nice. Try that salad...it is awesome. :-)...See MoreWhat's for dinner Friday?
Comments (11)Well, my little experiment with the puff pastry turkey sub was pretty much a flop. I think my pastry was old. I forgot to post that I made a 7-layer salad this afternoon. Everytime Glenda mentions she had it for lunch, I drool! The salad, of course, was delicious! That fudge cake is a really old recipe. Do you ever read a recipe and wonder how the heck someone decided to try it? Well, I sure wonder about that one. Who decided to make a cake, dump sugar and cocoa on top and pour boiling water on top? As it turned out, it was some weird genius baker! Azzalea, I like your dinner best. Not crazy about Amish food--but then I just had a few meals when we were in Lancaster, PA 20 years ago. Do love their cheese, though. Yum, Shirley. I love sausage links, especially the Jimmy Dean maple kind. Glenda, I'm glad to hear your ice has gone--and I hope it stays that way. Of course, your lunch is enviable! YogaLady, I don't know what it is about fruit that makes dinner taste so much better. Since Harry's on blood thinner he has to watch his green leafy stuff, so some nights we have fruit instead of a vegetable. We aren't used to dessert anymore, either, but I did the same thing you did when we retired. I baked about every day. Harry's buddies used to stop by for coffee, so stuff didn't sit around long. The chocolate cake was a treat and we still have some, but the "newness" wore off and neither of us wanted any tonight. LOL! Sue, I've never eaten at Logan's but I've heard it's really good. Sounds like you had another fun day. Wow, Georgysmom! I need a boost of your energy to get going around here. Bet you feel great to accomplish so much in one day. Plus--you made a wonderful dinner. You da bomb!...See Moreplllog
